MAJOR NETWORK FAILURE! Well that's what has been plaguing me this week. Pulled my whole network apart to find a faulty connection was causing the auto setup on my modem to go on the fritz. I guess that's another few hours of my life I wont get back. On the upside I got a new WAP for my end of the house. So I guess everything turned out better then expected

Sorry for the long absence again, it's exam season so I have been flat out studying.

Today, luckily I got a break from the jail that is study to help work on my cousins car. Basically what we did today was rip out the sound deadening and pull out all the excess speaker cables.

In total there ended up being 5kg's of extra speaker cables. What it looked like had happened was: The previous owner had lost one of the amp cables under the carpet, so when he when went to install a two channel amp he just ran another two amp wires. This is the only logical explanation I could think up for having three RCA cables running from the boot to the radio.

We also found other wires that lead to nowhere and also wires that were just tied together, with no electrical tape! Just goes to show you how little effort people are willing to put into a job, or to not trust any modifications on a car if the previous owner was a "boy racer".

I have pictures of the stuff we got out today, I will upload them tomorrow as I don't have the time today.

I know this may sound ultra nerdy (In the past this may have been considered nerdy, I am not sure about now.) but Doctor Who may just be one of the best programs on TV at the moment. I just can't get enough of it. Every episode leaves me craving for more.

Every episode contains its own individual mystery, as well as a series mystery which is intricately interwoven into every episode. This combination keeps you constantly guessing what is going to happen next.

As for the new doctor, Matt Smith, I think his overly eccentric style of acting fits the role well. Even though personally I am a David Tennant fan but the new doctor is starting to grow on me. Who is your favourite doctor?

If you haven't watched doctor who you should really check it out, the only bad thing I can see is the fact you have to wait a whole week for the next episode.

So, basically this week was University hell. I had two tests, three assignments and two labs. It was seriously a mission.
Last year I did five papers but this year I am only three but it seems like I am doing double the work. Maybe that what comes with Electrical Engineering.

I am pretty sure I was sitting in a one of my tests today and a question came up about MOSFETS. Isn't that a planet in starwars? I was about to draw a death star (seeming I didn't know how to do the question).

Morning light is a classic NZ DnB tune. This song is off their album "Uprising", which is definitely an album you should check out.

Shihad - Sleepeater

Not Shihad's most well known song but probably one of the catchiest.

Naked and Famous - Young Blood

Personally not one of my favourites, but it has been quite big in NZ recently.

Six60 - Rise Up

This is another song which has had a lot of radio coverage recently.Luger Boa - New Hot NightsThis is a song that my cousin suggested.Hope you enjoy the music. I might post up some more in a couple of days.
